Despite other blunders by the government, operation against terrorists has been a bold, and warranted decision. If PMLN government pulls this one off, it may pave the way for economic development, and perhaps also assist in reversing some of the bad international press Pakistan has been getting in the last 13 years. Thank you Mr. Prime Minister. You and Pak Army have all my support.

After the miseries of 10 years, brave decision by the Government to eliminate the terrorists once for all through Zarb-e-Azb Operation. Salute to Pak Army for its sacrifices and professionalism.
